Designer Ariele Faber has carved an innovative path in the field of pattern design. Her brainchild, Cerebella Design, brings to life the beautiful details of specimens as viewed under the microscope that are often invisible to the naked eye—until now.

Some kind of fish or their scales would be very interesting!
A luminescent kind of animal/plant! printed with luminescent dye!
I think that slices of minerals may be interesting patterns and not only from living specimens, they are also nature.
I think that ice might make for some attractive neckwear:

Using ivory could be interesting, and has conceptual value. A scarf using ivory could even be used as the figurehead to donate to a cause, such as preventing poaching and restoring endangered species and whatnot.
for thr scarf contest i propose the Barton Spring Salamander from Austin, TX, one of the main indicator species of groundwater purity and ecosystem health here. Support for these little critters shows your love for a healthy environment.
Alligator mississippiensis.
